Au DD was released by PNL in 2019 as a single from their album Deux Frères. The French duo, brothers Ademo and N.O.S from Corbeil-Essonnes, filmed its video on the Eiffel Tower, helping the song become a major event in French rap. It topped charts in France and spread widely on streaming and social platforms, where its opening became a recognisable shorthand among fans. Short excerpts later circulated on soundboards and in edits, keeping the hook in use long after the original release.
About this sound
A short clip from Au DD by French rap duo PNL, capturing the track's distinctive melodic hook. Creators use it for edits, memes and French rap reactions.
This two second excerpt is taken from Au DD by PNL, built around the song's airy piano melody and the duo's laid back vocal delivery. The clip is instantly recognisable to French rap listeners because the opening notes became closely associated with the track's success and its Paris imagery. On a soundboard it works as a quick musical signature rather than a full verse, dropping a moment of mood and recognition into a video or conversation. Its brevity makes the effect immediate, signalling PNL fandom and a cool, nocturnal atmosphere in just a couple of beats.
